large tarball errors: 19990905
I just installed a machine from the large tarball, and I've got the
following to report:
The machine wouldn't boot. The error was "panic: cannot load
user-bootstrap image: error code 6000". I gunzipped
/boot/gnumach.gz and /boot/serverboot.gz and lo!, it came up in
single-user mode.
Running native-install turned up the problem that /usr/info/dir was an
empty file and thus the install-info processes would hang. I killed
them off one after the other, and when everything seemed to be running
I fetched a dir file from somewhere else. After that, "dpkg
--configure --pending" did Good Things.
"dpkg -l" seems to tell me about an inconsistency, though. It says
that a number of Perl 5.005 packages are installed, but it also
mentions `perl-base' which has version 5.004. This seems to be
strange.
Now, I need to fetch a compiler and cvs and a working man-db, and then
I can see how it works with the newest sources :-)
